I've read and reread and reread the mailman docs, and I don't see where and how virtual addresses get piped to the command above. The file /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases has commands like the above; the file /usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman does not.
For example, aliases has:
pctest: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post pctest"
but virtual-mailman has:
pctest@virt1.tld pctest
I'm missing how to glue the two together, and this is NOT covered in the existing mailman docs.

i don't use mysql, but my epiphany was when i realized i needed two separate mappings to be in place to get postfix and mailman working together. you need the virtual domain map (which i believe you have) and you need the map that takes the result of the virtual domain map, and turns it into a "real" destination.
Right. That's really my question -- how is that done?
as i understand it, it's done automatically by postfix, if you tell it about all the maps. if you weren't using mysql, the definition of virtual_alias_maps should include the alias maps for any virtual domains:
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
and the postfix definition of "alias_maps" should refer to both /etc/aliases and /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
postfix will resolve using first the virtual_alias_maps, and then the alias_maps.
but i don't know how mysql affects any of that.
